NMEA0183: Choose NMEA0183 version of navigation equipment connected to the NMEA port, among Ver. 1.5, Ver. 2.0 or Ver. 3.0. "SPECIAL" is for use with a navigator whose baud rate is 600 bps.

NMEA Port: The NMEA terminals in the NMEA port can function as input ports or input/output port. Change the setting to "In/In" when connecting GP-310B/320B/330B and a wind sensor. When connecting the GP-320B/330B and a wind sensor, first turn on "WAAS Setup" and then se- lect "In/In" as the NMEA Port setting.

In/Out: NMEA port J2 #1 & #2 is output port and J2 #3 & #4 is input port.

In/In: NMEA port J2 #1 & #2 changes to input port. (Available with connection of the GP-310B/ 320B/330B and a wind sensor.)

NMEA Output: Set the output data sentences.

Off: Outputs the "output data sentences" created in the FCV-295 (see page 8).

On: Outputs the "output data sentences" of FCV-295 and sentences which are input from other equipment.
